Beijing, July 20 (China News Network) (Reporter Ying Ni) "It is a true story, not a fictional legend. My 98-year-old mother, at the head of her bed, set up a secret bookshelf..." Zhao Lihong, a famous essayist and poet, "Mother's Bookshelf", condensed and restrained, full of affection, described the mother's implicit and deep love for her son, simple and moving. Some netizens read the message and said that it was tearful.

How can literary writing be moving? The famous poet Ouyang Jianghe said of literary writing: "Language is not only a rhetorical revolution, fancy, and showmanship, but also needs to have a profound humanity, humanity, and cosmology that transcends language. Mr. Zhao Lihong can write non-stop, because of the plainness of his language and the lack of flower work. He is faithful to himself, but he can write deeply. ”
Zang Yongqing, president of the People's Literature Publishing House, believes that this is a collection of poems that have been "painstakingly endured." The poet "boils" his own feelings about the world, his feelings about life, and his perception of life in his best form of expression. The respect and tempering of Chinese poetry for language is a very good performance in this collection of poems, so many of the poems in it are easy to recite, and at the same time may become golden sentences for dissemination.
Zhao Lihong admitted that in the past two years, she has encountered the new crown epidemic. "Because of the epidemic, I think a lot of things are elusive, we don't know the world, we don't know our own lives, we encounter a lot of confusion, and some poems are written in this situation." He believes that writing poetry is a very personal thing, "This is the secret of my life, and now this secret is presented to everyone, and I think every reader can read a different connotation from it."
